The Cover Artwork. Niggling at a High Level

[Templer]

In Germany we would say, "niggling at a high level".
But because the consumer opinion should count, also such, rather unimportant, matter must find a place.

The artwork is funny on one side, and annoying, headshaking, on the other side.
You could also call it unprofessional.

No one, not even untrained, holding their weapons this way when they fires!
That looks absolut stupid!

What the artist was thinking on this?

Besides, do the unions sergeant wears a tie?

[RebelYell]

Germans are blunt and pedantic.

No seriously, if you want to ask something on the forum, at least be polite

Germans are blunt and pedantic.

Pedantic - maybe.

Blunt - Well, Germans are still on the top by earning Nobel Prizes.

Well, a Mort Künstler would have been better, but hey! That's the beauty of art-work for a game, no?

Not stupid, I ment they often say what they think straight to your face.

I dont think we have to go there, that really is not fair to push to people that where not even born then.

Not counting that the first was the fault of everyone and also was a big factor in causing the second.

[Templer]

To put it bluntly, basically, I like the artwork, it's doing a good Job.
I also think it is high quality work.

But the posture of some of the heroes I won't accept for a "serios" produkt... C'mon.

Espacially the Spanish officer in the picture below stands there like a ..., or something worse.

This seems as good a thread to ask it as any, what tank is that on the cover of Espana 1936? I don't recognize the shape from any WW2 tank and I like to think I have played so many WW2 games I should know nearly all of them by now :P

Is it a tank produced by the Spanish during the war themselves?

looks like BT5 soviet earlier tank or may be an italian tank.

Nobel Prizes...sorry? Germany (104) is only No 3 on the list of nations winning Nobel prizes, topped by the USA
(350) and the UK (120). And before you state that the American prizes are for soft topics such as literature and peace, please note that the USA has won 28 Peace & Literature Prizes.

I wrote it's on the top, I didn't wrote it's the top of all...

And many not German winners were once German citizen or have German roots...

And all I say is "blunt" is not a acceptable German attribute!

That star on the tank is a bit suspicious (considering that the tank is a Nationalist one), but maybe what the artist wanted to do is a Panzer I

ah ! yes, perhaps a panzer 1 : the same type of turret.

and.. what a strange quarrel about Nobel prizes

I need you to start posting on the Halloween thread Templer - a lack of characters this year A lack of anyone this year in fact.

You want to tell me something?

It looks absolutely nothing like a Panzer I though
Neither the turret nor the suspension nor the basic shape even closely resemble it.

True. The suspensions look like Soviet or Italian design tho.

I have started this thread to point out the unnatural, wrong posture of the soldiers.
Meanwhile, we also discuss historical falsifications.
Fine, so let me add: The confederate sergeant has a two rows button jacket.
